Garden shears

Abstract

A garden shears includes a pressing member, a holding member, a cutting member and a ratchet. An aperture of the cutting member combines with an aperture of the pressing member for a pivot. The holding member and the ratchet are assembled together at an assembling portion of the pressing member, and teeth of the ratchet engage with a pawl of the cutting member such that the pressing member, the holding member and the ratchet have different pivot points. An opening between the blade and the anvil is smaller than an opening formed between the handle and the holding member. Since the opening formed between the handle and the holding member is larger than the cutting opening between the blade and the anvil, a stronger cutting torque is applied to increase the clipping strength derived from the anvil and the blade.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0001]1. Field of the Invention[0002]The present invention relates to garden shears, and more particularly to garden shears capable of providing improved clipping strength for cutting harder objects.[0003]2. Description of the Related Art[0004]Currently, a prior art garden shears comprises, as shown in FIG. 9, FIG. 10 and FIG. 11, a pressing member 50, a cutting member 60 and a holding member 70. The pressing member 50 comprises two symmetrical pressing elements 51a, 51b sandwiching an anvil 52 and a separator 53. The pressing elements 51a, 51b both have a first pivoting aperture 54 and a second pivoting aperture 55, A through aperture 61 of the cutting member 60 is pivoted with the first pivoting aperture of the pressing member 50, and the cutting member 60 is also sandwiched between the two pressing elements 51a, 51b and secured by screws through the first pivoting aperture 54 and the through aperture 61. Therefore, the pressing member 50 and the cutting...

AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

[0006]An objective of the present invention is to provide garden shears capable of providing improved clipping strength for cutting harder objects.

[0008]With the above-mentioned structure the following benefits can be obtained: 1. Since the pressing member of the garden shears has the containment slot, the cutting member can be assembled onto the pressing member through the containment slot, and the holding member utilizes the pivot portion for direct pivoting onto the assembling portion of the pressing member so that the garden shears have a simpler and stronger structure. 2. The ratchet utilizes the second assembling aperture for pivoting with the assembling portion of the pressing member, and the ratchet is placed in the first groove of the holding member and limited by the securing pin such that the ratchet is able to move along with the holding member for a more smooth operation.

Problems solved by technology

However, the prior art garden shears have the following drawbacks: since the pressing member 50 comprises two pressing elements 51a, 51b, the anvil 52 and the separator 53, and as the holding member 70 comprises the holding elements 71a, 71b and the assembling element 72, the assembly process is very complicated and inconvenient and the structure is relatively weak.
